Hi all,
I sold a Macbook Air a few weeks ago. Before I sold the item I formatted the drive (using secure erase) and reloaded the original operating system back onto the machine.
I thought this meant the machine was now 'as new' !
However, I've just gone into Find My iPhone and I can still see the Macbook Air listed and I can also see its location (which I assume is the new buyers location). I even have an option to Erase the Macbook Air remotely etc.
I feel very uneasy about this as clearly I shouldn't be able to view where the Macbook Air is located and I definitely shouldn't be able to remote erase !
Also, does this mean the new buyer can see my data on his Macbook Air. So for example - when I add a new iPhone to iMessages it pops up a dialog on all my devices - is it also showing a notification on his Macbook Air ?
Please help !
